He arranges the format of contact to match individual preferences and the goals discussed in early sessions. Communication choices are presented as flexible ways to continue collaborative work when in-person meetings are not an option.Client-Centered Therapy is used to place the person’s perspective at the center of each conversation. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and respecting the client’s expertise about their own life while shaping goals together. It can be a fit for people who want a supportive dialogue that reflects their values and pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy introduce practical tools and skills. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and experimenting with alternatives.
